Abstract
LYNCH, Julieta. Sitio Villavil: una aproximación a la dinámica localestatal al norte del valle de Hualfín, Catamarca. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.2, pp.491-496. ISSN 1850-373X.
It is a site recently found on an alluvial plateau at 1850 m.a.s.l.Although there are no radiocarbon dates yet, architecture and planning suggest Villavil may correspond to a Desarrollos Regionales Period settlement (900/1000 a.C - 1470 a.C). However, the results obtained from the analysis of ceramics recovered at the site´s surface shows Aguadaand Inca style presence. In addition, one of the structuresat the site exhibits a work of stone (piedra canteada), recorded in some Inca sites of Northwestern Argentina (NOA). This contribution, altogether with future work in the area, will contribute to understand the strategy applied by the Incas when incorporating new urbanized areas.
